BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a child car safety seat, and more particularly, to a fireproof buffering structure, and a supporting cushion apparatus and a safety seat which include the fireproof buffering structure.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A child car safety seat provides a seating space with a suitable size for a child in a car ride, and buffering structures are disposed on surrounding walls of the child car safety seat which are in contact with the child to serve as a buffer during a crash so that possibility of injury to the child might be reduced. The buffering structure can be fixed to a main body of the safety seat and covered under a seat cloth, or the buffering structure can be disposed on the seat cloth. For example, a supporting cushion or a headrest is often mounted to the upper backrest portion of an infant basket safety seat for supporting and protecting an infant's head, and the buffering structure can be disposed inside the supporting cushion for improving safety.

Conventional buffering structures are foams made of expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polystyrene (EPS) or expandable polyethylene (EPE) and in a shape of a plate or a block. The foams have good impact absorbing capacity for effective buffering. However, the foams are also flammable and have a higher combustion rate upon ignition, which is unsafe for application.

Please refer to FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a perspective diagram of a fireproof buffering structure 40 according to a tenth embodiment of the present application. The fireproof buffering structure 40 is a quintuple-layered structure and includes two buffering plates 401, a fireproof plate 402, a first auxiliary fireproof plate 403, and a second auxiliary fireproof plate 404.

Please refer to FIG. 16. FIG. 16 is a perspective diagram of the safety seat 3 with a supporting cushion apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 16, the present application further discloses that a safety seat 3 includes a main body 31 and the supporting cushion apparatus 1 disposed on the main body 31. The supporting cushion apparatus 1 can be a headrest for supporting the infant's head in the safety seat 3. The supporting cushion apparatus 1 includes the fireproof buffering structure disclosed by the present application so as to provide protection for the infant's head.

Please refer to FIG. 17 and FIG. 18. FIG. 17 is a perspective diagram of the supporting cushion apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present application. FIG. 18 is a diagram of the fireproof buffering structure 45 partially accommodated in a covering pocket 113 according to an embodiment of the present application. The supporting apparatus 1 includes a covering member 11 and the fireproof buffering structure 45 accommodated inside the covering member 11. The fireproof buffering structure 45 can be a structure of the abovementioned fifth embodiment, which includes the buffering plate 451, and the fireproof plate 452 and the first auxiliary fireproof plate 453 respectively attached to a front surface of the buffering plate 451 and a rear surface of the buffering plate 451. The covering member 11 includes a head supporting portion 111 and two flanking portions 112 connected with two sides of the head supporting portion 111. A child in a car ride can rest his or her head on the head supporting portion 111. The fireproof buffering structure 45 can be accommodated in each of the two flanking portions 112 which are located on two sides of the child's head for providing protection. Specifically, the covering pocket 113 with an opening can be disposed on at least one of the two flanking portions 112 and the head supporting portion 111, and the fireproof buffering structure 45 can be put into the covering pocket 113 through the opening. A shape of the fireproof buffering structure 45 can correspond to shapes of the flanking portion 112 and the covering pocket 113, and a size of the fireproof buffering structure 45 can be only slightly smaller than the covering pocket 113 so that the fireproof buffering structure 45 can be properly restrained in the flanking portion 112 after being enclosed into the covering pocket 113. The fireproof buffering structure 45 can also be accommodated in the head supporting portion 111. For example, in another embodiment of the present application, the fireproof buffering structures 45 are accommodated in the head supporting portion 111 and the flanking portions 112 of the covering member 11. In another embodiment of the present application, the fireproof buffering structure 45 is accommodated only in the head supporting portion 111 but not in the flanking portions 112, and the description of the exemplary embodiments are intended to be illustrative and not to limit the scope of the invention.

Since the fireproof plate 452 made of PE is harder than the buffering plate 451 and is disposed on a surface of the fireproof buffering structure 45 closer to an inner space surrounded by the covering member 11, the infant with his or her head rested in the inner space and on the fireproof plate 452 might feel uncomfortable. Therefore, a soft filler can be disposed on the fireproof plate 452 accommodated in the flanking portion 112. A side compartment can be disposed outside the covering pocket 113 accommodated in the flanking portion 112 or in the head supporting portion 111, and the soft filler can fill the side compartment. In other embodiments, the soft filler can directly fill the covering pocket 113 for covering the fireproof plate 452 or can be disposed on the fireproof plate 452 accommodated in the covering pocket 113 or the head supporting portion 111, and the description of the exemplary embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the invention but to be illustrative about that the soft filler is required to be positioned on an outer surface of the fireproof plate 452. The soft filler can be foam made of materials, such as PU, EPP, EPS, or EPE, or can be made of a material that improves comfortableness, such as cotton. It is noticed that the fireproof buffering structure accommodated in the supporting cushion apparatus 1 can be formed in other configurations else the fireproof buffering structures of the first embodiment to the tenth embodiment besides the abovementioned fireproof buffering structure 45.

In contrast to conventional buffering structures, the fireproof buffering structure of the present application includes the buffering plate and the fireproof plate combined with each other. The buffering plate has good impact absorbing capacity for providing a soft and comfortable seating environment and buffering and protection effects during a crash accident. Besides, the attached fireproof plate can reduce the combustion rate of the integral structure when catching fire. Therefore, the fireproof buffering structure, which can be disposed in the safety seats achieves the inventive purposes of safety and comfort.
